„Sustainability has always been a challenge for open source developer tooling. Our goal with Vite+ is to capture a portion of the value it creates at scale for larger organizations and reinvest it into the open source projects that power Vite+.“

Very interesting approach. 🤞

Catching up on the latest features announced at #reactconf. Activity seems like a great tool to improve the responsiveness of UIs. There is a lot more potential for similar optimizations in SPAs. Great to see React team‘s focus on providing such low level perf tools that are missing in the browser.

What happens when you run React Server Components on a custom Rust runtime instead of Node.js?

4x faster rendering, 10k+ req/sec, sub-50ms P99 latency.

Same JSX, same component patterns. Zero Rust knowledge needed.

The runtime does the heavy lifting, you write the React.

pnpm v10.16.0 adds "minimumReleaseAge", a setting for defining how long a version has to have been published before pnpm will install it.

A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!

Isn’t it great that, thanks to faked intelligence spreading everywhere, we are now living in the most Douglas Adams like universe.
